Answer:

Arjun is 20 years old and Shreya is 10 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 YEARS AGO-

Arjun: 2x-5

Shreya: x-5

NOW-

Arjun: 2x

Shreya: x

EQUATION-

2x-5=3(x-5) = 2x-5=3x-15

(add 15 on both sides)

2x+10=3x

(subract 2x from both sides)

x=10

Therefore, Arjun is 20 years old and Shreya is 10 years old :)
